The photographer stands in front of the subject and uses an eye-level angle. The composition employs the central composition method, placing the subject at the center of the frame to make them the focal point. Symmetrical composition is also utilized, with elements like spring couplets and lanterns on either side of the subject, creating a balanced aesthetic. A standard lens is used to faithfully reproduce the scene, clearly displaying the subject, clothing details, and the relative positions of the surrounding environment. 1.

1. The photographer should stand at the threshold and frame the shot centrally from outside the display window, focusing on the details with a wide aperture to blur the background and enhance the depth of the image. 2. For shooting through the display window, use a low angle to enhance the sense of space and three-dimensionality. Travel Tips: Try to shoot during off-peak hours to avoid interfering with the flow of customers. Best Time to Shoot: It's recommended to shoot in the morning or early evening when the light is soft, which helps to highlight the saturation of the red elements and avoid the harsh reflections of midday sunlight. Additional Tips: If you need to shoot inside the store, obtain permission from the owner in advance. The alley area can be quite crowded, so pay attention to safety and try to avoid the crowd while shooting.
